Venom 3 finally hit the screens a little over a week ago after a much-anticipated wait, and the hype surrounding it is still as high as ever. In a final mysterious run of events, both Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and his beloved symbiote are compelled to make a devastating decision after being on the run from an uncanny military man and alien monsters from Venom’s home world.

Plus, as much as this film spun as the final one in Hardy’s anti-hero trilogy as Brock, it also introduced fans to a base-level acknowledgment of Knull, one of the biggest baddies in the Marvel comics. But that didn’t lessen the piece’s vulnerability, as it was met with mixed reviews — praising one from general fans and brutally panned ones from critics — ceasing to amuse most critics.

Nonetheless, The Last Dance...

After Donald Trump claimed victory over Kamala Harris, fans are making wild assumptions about who voted for who. Sydney Sweeney’s vote has been a hot topic on X with several users claiming that the actress revealed her affiliation to Trump. While Sweeney’s alleged Trump support spread like wildfire, some fans have called out the fake news spreading in the name of the actress.

Some fans even went as far as to theorize that Sweeney didn’t attend Diddy’s parties as she was not one of the endorsers of Kamala Harris. This theory is a dig at the celebrities who supported Harris as reports emerged that many of them were seen together with Diddy at his parties.

US film and television production and finance company Sk Global, best known for Crazy Rich Asians, has reportedly laid off around 20 employees in multiple departments.

Company representatives could not be reached for comment, but according to reports Sk Global has attributed the cuts to economic headwinds and last year’s US actors and writers strikes. The reports said all the company’s lines of business remain active and current and upcoming productions are on track.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in New York, Mumbai and Singapore, Sk Global produces studio features and television programming in English and local languages.

Sk Global, the production company behind “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Anyone But You,” has been impacted by layoffs, an insider with knowledge tells TheWrap.

Roughly 20 employees were affected across multiple departments, according to Deadline, which first reported the news.

In the face of significant industry changes over the past few years, including structural changes in the market and how media is developed, distributed and consumed, Sk Global had to carefully assess how they are operating the company for their continued growth and success, the insider noted.

As a business, Sk Global remains dedicated to creating premium content with cultural impact, and all of their business lines and current and upcoming productions will remain on track as they implement these changes, the insider said.

The production company was previously known as Sidney Kimmel Entertainment and was primarily known for bankrolling prestige dramas “Hell or High Water” and “The Place Beyond the Pines.

Exclusive: Add Sk Global Entertainment, the independent studio behind hits like Anyone But You and Crazy Rich Asians, to the long list of entertainment and media companies impacted by layoffs in 2024.

Less than 20 employees were affected across multiple departments, sources tell Deadline. Like so many others, the company made the move to ensure the continued growth and success of its operations amidst continually strong economic headwinds, following the year of the double strike.

Sk Global remains dedicated, we’re told, to creating premium content with cultural impact. All of its lines of business and current and upcoming productions will remain on track as staffing changes are implemented.

News of the layoffs follows word of others this month at the Film Academy, Fox Corp., Allen Media Group, Netflix, Disney and elsewhere.

Sk Global saw major success last winter with Anyone But You, the critically acclaimed Sony rom-com starring Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney,...

Erfolgreichster deutscher Film im ersten Halbjahr 2024: „Chantal im Märchenland“ (Credit: Constantin)

Mit etwas mehr als 2,7 Mio. verkauften Tickets war „Chantal im Märchenland“ nicht nur der erfolgreichste deutsche Film in den heimischen Kinos – und insgesamt die Nummer zwei hinter „Dune: Part Two“ -, sondern auch der Titel mit dem zweitgrößten Anteil an Zuschauern bis 19 Jahre unter den Top-25-Fillmen des ersten Halbjahres 2024.

Wie aus der heute von der Ffa veröffentlichten Studie „Top 25 Filmtitel 1.

Lana Condor hinted during the press tour of her popular romance film To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before that she and co-star Noah Centineo felt sparks between them when they met on set but chose to be professionals and did not date each other. Their chemistry in the film seemed to be great anyway, so fans believed the story.

However, the real reason for them not getting together despite their obvious chemistry might not be what Condor claimed. The actress is currently married to musician Anthony De La Torre and claimed on several occasions that they began dating after meeting at the 2015 Emmys, a full three years before To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before released.

Sydney Sweeney, with her immense talent, has managed to make a huge name for herself in the industry. What started with minor roles soon transformed into the actress helming major movies in Hollywood. While she has worked with several leading men in the industry, she also has a specific director in mind that she would definitely love to collaborate with.

So much so that she even described the same as her absolute dream. The director in question is the legendary Martin Scorsese, who despite his iconic movies has constantly found himself in hot waters for his portrayal of women.

Working With Martin Scorsese Might Not Be the Best Idea for Sydney Sweeney

In the history of cinema, only a few directors have left an indelible mark with several record-breaking and highly acclaimed movies. In this, Martin Scorsese would definitely stand the tallest,...

Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney are among two of the most prominent young actresses in the industry. Both started their careers young, with Zendaya rising to prominence as a Disney kid in Shake It Up while Sweeney appeared as a preteen in several TV roles. Zendaya landed the role of Mj in Spider-Man: Homecoming, giving her mainstream prominence. Meanwhile, Sweeney got noticed for her roles in Everything Sucks! and Sharp Objects.

Both would eventually appear in Sam Levinson’s Euphoria, the HBO series that significantly impacted their acting careers. It has been five years since Euphoria premiered, and both actresses have their own places in the industry. Yet they stand at surprisingly two levels when it comes to their paychecks.

Sony Pictures' Madame Web managed to assemble an impressive cast of already established stars and young up-and-coming actresses to play the lead roles... which may have been somewhat baffling to anyone who watched the movie.

We have heard that the movie turned out to be very different to the one the cast signed on to appear in, with a reworked (and inferior) script and a rushed production resulting in the disjointed mess that went on to bomb at the box office and earn an abysmal 11% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It's entirely possible that the cast simply didn't realize what they were getting themselves into (nobody sets out to make a bad movie... which can be hard to believe sometimes), but a new report claims that Sydney Sweeney may have had her own reasons for agreeing to make the film.

According to THR, Sweeney agreed to appear in Madame Web to convince...

Sydney Sweeney gained fame for her roles in HBO’s Euphoria (2019–present) and The White Lotus (2021), earning two Primetime Emmy nominations. In 2023, she played Reality Winner in the film Reality and starred in the hit romantic comedy Anyone But You.

In 2024, she appeared in the superhero film Madame Web and both produced and starred in the horror movie Immaculate.

Madame Web was poorly received by critics and flopped at the box office, earning only $100.5 million worldwide against an $80 million budget. In contrast, Anyone But You grossed $120 million more than Madame Web.

According to THR, a source claims that Sydney Sweeney accepted a supporting role in Madame Web to help get Anyone But You greenlit. “She wanted to show she was committed to the team,” said the source from Sony Pictures. Despite Madame Web‘s poor performance, Sweeney still earned $750,000.

Before these films, she starred in Reality, a biopic where she played whistleblower Reality Winner,...

Exclusive: Premeditated Productions, the newly launched shingle of powerhouse Entangled publisher Liz Pelletier and Sherryl Clark, the film veteran known for posts at the likes of Crooked Highway and Bad Robot, has hired seasoned television exec Julie Jarmon as SVP, TV.

Now responsible for overseeing all aspects of Premeditated’s TV business, under the company’s Amazon MGM Studios-based first-look deal, Jarmon brings a wealth of experience to the company with more than 15 years in scripted programming and development, including numerous high-profile series with premium producers and fresh voices across the TV landscape. In her last position as Senior Vice President and Head of Scripted Development for Disney’s Freeform, she oversaw more than 50 drama, comedy, and animation projects, including Praise Petey, Everything Is Trash, and The Watchful Eye. Prior to Freeform, she served as Vice President, Scripted Development at The CW.

Sydney Sweeney is now one of the highest paid actresses of her generation, according to new numbers that have just been released!

The 27-year-old star’s paydays have exponentially increased after her starring role in 2023′s Anyone But You, which she had a hand in getting made in the first place!

According to a report, via THR, Sydney agreed to do Madame Web in order to get Sony to make Anyone But You. This obviously worked out in her favor, as she’s now seen a huge influx in pay.

Keep reading to see all her recent paydays, and how much she’s getting for her latest movie…...

Sydney Sweeney gained wider recognition for her roles in the HBO drama series Euphoria (2019–present) and the first season of the anthology series The White Lotus (2021), which earned her nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards.

In 2023, she portrayed Reality Winner in the drama film Reality and led the commercially successful romantic comedy Anyone but You. In 2024, she starred in the superhero film Madame Web, and produced and starred in the horror film Immaculate.

Madame Web was panned by critics and was a box-office bomb, grossing $100.5 million worldwide against a production budget of $80 million. Anyone but You, on the contrary, ended up grossing $120M more than Madame Web.

THR reports that allegedly, one source says Sweeney agreed to take on a supporting role in Madame Web, a film in Sony’s Spider-Man universe, to help get Anyone but You approved.

“She wanted to show she was committed to the team,” says a source from Sony Pictures.

One surprise hit movie can still supercharge an actor’s trajectory.

In December 2023, Sydney Sweeney starred with Glen Powell in Anyone But You, Sony Pictures’ romantic comedy that became an unabashed box office success, making $220 million on a budget of $25 million. Sweeney’s fee for the movie was $2 million for the film.

Less than a year later, in October, Sweeney nabbed a $7.5 million payday to star in The Housemaid, a Lionsgate thriller that will also star Amanda Seyfried and be directed by Paul Feig, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

It’s a notable jump that is not too common in modern Hollywood, where big hits tend to come from franchise plays and, A-list actors aside, pay jumps come in pre-negotiated increments. But Sweeney has become one of the most in-demand actresses, and has capitalized by lining up a savvy range of movies, including a boxing biopic and a Hollywood...

La adaptación de la novela de Stephen King contará con un elenco de lujo bajo la dirección de Edgar Wright.

¡Atención! The Running Man, la adaptación de la novela de Stephen King que dirige Edgar Wright (Baby Driver) para Paramount, no para de sumar nombres de lujo.

El primero en sumarse fue Glen Powell, quien encarnará al protagonista Ben Richards. Se dice que Powell superó en el casting a pesos pesados como Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans y Chris Hemsworth.

A Powell se unieron Josh Brolin (Dune) como el villano, Jayme Lawson (El Pingüino) en el papel de interés romántico, y nombres como Katy O’Brian (Twisters), Daniel Ezra (All American), Karl Glusman (Bikeriders. La ley del asfalto), Lee Pace (Foundation), Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim contra el mundo), Emilia Jones (Coda) y William H. Macy (El reino del planeta de los simios). Y quién sabe si nos sorprenden con alguno en el ya bien nutrido reparto.

Exclusive: Guy Burnet (Oppenheimer), John Ross Bowie (Speechless), Adrian Rawlins (Mary & George) and Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson (Vikings: Valhalla) will round out the cast of Reykjavik, writer-director Michael Russell Gunn’s historical drama for Anyone But You producer Sk Global. Additionally, 2521 Entertainment has been set to produce and finance the film in partnership with Sk Global.

Others in the cast, as previously announced, include Jeff Daniels, Jared Harris, J.K. Simmons, Hope Davis, Branka Katic and Aya Cash.

Entering production in Iceland in early October, with extensive filming at Höfði House, the actual site of the 1986 Reykjavik summit, Reykjavik explains why the event marked one of the most significant diplomatic achievements of modern times. The film takes place at the most dangerous point of the Cold War, watching as political enemies Ronald Reagan (Daniels) and Mikhail Gorbachev (Harris) meet in Iceland over one long, tense weekend to decide if there will...

Glen Powell is aptly one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood today. While his debut came way back in Spy Kids in 2003, the 35-year-old has seen multiple successful roles come his way in the last few years. Now looking forward to the release of Twisters, Powell has appeared in movies such as Anyone But You and Top Gun: Maverick, and generally finds himself in high demand.

However, that did not seem true to the actor when during his years of struggle. Powell went to his fair share of failed auditions but has never been the kind of person who would take things negatively. The actor has been utterly professional right from the start, and spent years getting rejected for a plethora of major roles.

To break the norm, one of his agents even gave him a peculiar piece of advice.

Imagine this: you’re Kristen Bell, working alongside Jason Segel in a $105M rom-com, and things are going smoothly until Segel has a crazy idea for a hilarious breakup scene. But here’s the kicker—he’s completely n*ked. Yep, in true Segel fashion, he took the comedy to an entirely new level, transforming what should’ve been a serious, emotional moment into an awkward yet unforgettable scene.

This not-so-typical rom-com breakup became the buzz of the movie, leaving Bell in a tricky spot and audiences laughing and cringing in equal measure. Segel’s quirky twist added a whole new layer to the film, making it an iconic and awkward cinematic moment that fans still talk about today.

Sydney Sweeney is to play Kim Novak in 'Scandalous'.The 27-year-old star will take on the role of the 'Vertigo' icon in the flick that will tell the story of the love affair the actress had with the legendary dancer and Rat Pack singer Sammy Davis Jr., as portrayed by David Jonsson, in 1957.The Miramax movie, which marks Sweeney's 'Euphoria' co-star Colman Domingo's directorial debut, will enter production once the pair have finished working on the third season of the HBO drama series.As well as starring in the picture, the 'Anyone But You' actress will be producing 'Scandalous' alongside Tani Cohen and Bobby Rock, while Matthew Fantaci writes the script. Davis Jr. and Novak met in 1956 on 'The Steve Allen Show' and later entered a romantic relationship.The interracial couple were the subject of heavy criticism both in and out of...

Colman Domingo is set to make his feature directorial debut with “Scandalous,” a period drama about the 1950s romance between movie star Kim Novak and singer Sammy Davis Jr., and the bigoted scrutiny that the pair faced once their relationship came to light. Sydney Sweeney and David Jonsson are in talks to play the two leads.

Miramax is working to fast track the project, which remains in early stages of development. Producers have hopes to shoot next year after Domingo and Sweeney have finished filming the third season of HBO’s “Euphoria.”

As it went, Novak and Davis first connected when they both appeared as guests on “The Steve Allen Show” in 1956. The two continued to meet, with Davis making visits to the set of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” during the next year. They met again at a Thanksgiving charity ball in California, which led to the pair spending the holidays together.

Exclusive: Colman Domingo will make his directorial debut in Scandalous, a fast tracked Miramax drama about the clandestine love affair between film star Kim Novak and singer/dancer and film star Sammy Davis Jr. in 1957. Sydney Sweeney will play Novak, and David Jonsson will play Davis Jr.

Plan is to shoot the film — imagine a movie about classic Hollywood being shot in Los Angeles — when Domingo and Sweeney complete Season 3 of the HBO series Euphoria.

Much the way she did with the sleeper hit Anyone But You, Sweeney was very active in putting this one together and she will be a producer along with Tani Cohen and Bobby Roth, with Jon Levin exec producing. Matthew Fantaci wrote the script.

Before he became Miramax CEO, Jon Glickman originated the project at Panoramic, and remained high on it. Novak, star of Vertigo and Rat Pack member Davis Jr were at the peak...

Sydney Sweeney has become known for her bombshell looks and, despite Madame Web's failings earlier this year, hits like Anyone But You and Immaculate have made her one of Hollywood's most bankable young stars.

Now, Sweeney has showcased her physical transformation to play legendary boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming untitled biopic.

After paparazzi photos of the actor were circulated on social media, Sweeney took to Instagram (via TheRingReport.com) to confirm she's playing Martin in a movie being directed by David Michod.

For those of you who aren't aware, Martin competed between 1989 and 2012 and was crowned world champion in the super welterweight class in 2009. In 2010, the boxer was stabbed and shot her by husband, James Martin, but miraculously survived. He's now serving a 25-year prison sentence for attempted second-degree murder.

While her image has pretty much been consistent throughout her filmography, Sweeney just shared her huge body transformation for a movie centered on pro-boxer Christy Martin.

SAG-AFTRA has produced three advocacy videos putting a spotlight on the challenges disabled actors face in pursuing and auditioning for jobs in the entertainment industry. The videos were produced as part of the union’s “Inclusion: Time to Get Real” campaign launched in connection with National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

The goal is to demonstrate how people with disabilities are underrepresented in TV and film, and when they are on screen, they are often misrepresented. In 2022, people with disabilities accounted for 8.8% of screen time, but those with visible disabilities made up only 0.4%, according to a Nielsen study.

“People with disabilities are America’s largest minority, representing nearly 26 percent of the nation’s population. Yet disabled performers are not afforded equal opportunities in entertainment and media and remain among the least represented in the industry,” said Christine Bruno, chair of the National Performers with Disabilities Committee, which steered the campaign.

In the beauty of Sydney Sweeney, many forget the sheer amount of talent that the actress possesses. While works like Anyone But You and Madame Web did get the actress a lot of publicity, it would seem that she is going to force the world to see her talent. Recently, the actress has been spotted working on a project that could be good enough to earn her an Oscar nod.

Warner Bros had been the market leader in the first half of 2024 thanks to the performance of Dune - Part Two, but Disney has since overtaken with a nine- month total box office total of €117m and 11.85 million admissions.

Ever since shooting to fame with Euphoria, Sydney Sweeney has never looked back. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star has gone from strength to strength, cementing her position as one of the big names in Hollywood.

Having featured in a ton of projects, it shouldn’t come as a shock that she must have earned cartloads of money. No wonder she lost it when her name was smeared with allegations that she was living off her fiancé’s earnings.

The media is not kind to anyone. And it seems to have picked Sydney Sweeney as its next target. The Eden star might be one of the most established names in the industry, but even she is not immune from vile allegations it seems.

Sydney Sweeney detailed a recent encounter with paparazzi in which photographers showed up at her home and attempted to negotiate with her family for bikini photos of the actress in exchange for leaving the property.
